h Treasury's First Female Employe

The Treasury's First Female Employe.
The question rs to who was the first
female employee in the treasury depart
ment at Washington having been raised,
Gen. F. E. Spinner, who resides in Mo-
hawk, was called upon to decide it. The
name of the first lady, he says, was
jeanette L. Douglass. Miss Douglass
was born in Peterboro, Madison county,
N. ", and was a neighbor of the phi
lanthropist Gerritt Smith, and it was
through his influence that Gen. Spinner
made the appointment. Miss Douglass
was in 1860 a teacher in Mrs. Smiths
female seminary in Washington, in the
building occupied by jefferson Davis
while he was secretary Of war.
At the outbreak Of the civil war the
school was broken up and Miss Douglass
rented the mansion of Mrs. Gaines and
opened a girls school. II was not a sue
cess, and she went TO Scotland 10 look
after property there to which she had
fallen heir. She returned TO New York
city in 1870, and wrote to her brother
from there, saying she would oon join
him in lion. Since that time neither he
nor any Of his friends have even seen or
heard of Miss Douglass. Whether she
got her fortune or not, whether she was
robbed, kidnapped or murdered or CON-
mitted suicide, is not known. The mys-
terry Of her disappearance will probably
never be solved.-Chicago Journal.
